Marsalis Brasilianos

October 22, 2008

Jazz, classical, and even Latin music fans will relish this rare chance to hear musical legend Branford Marsalis, saxophonist, and 34 members of the Philarmonia Brasileira (Gil Jardim, Conductor) explore the wistful soulfulness of Heitor Villa Lobos and the exuberant playfulness of Darius Milhaud. Like Gershwin’s An American in Paris, you’ll love Milhaud’s jazz-influenced energy and humor. Longing for the sinuously sad melodies found in the best bossa nova? Villa Lobos has you covered.

Don’t miss your top-notch introduction to these lesser-known composers!
